The mana cost of the creatures being cast is still the stated cost on the card, even though you did not pay the cost.

You can’t use Aluren when casting a creature using another alternate means, such as the Morph ability.

You can’t choose to cast a creature as though it had flash via Aluren and still pay the mana cost. You either cast the creature normally, or via Aluren without paying the mana cost.

Aluren checks the actual printed cost on the creature card, and is not affected by things which allow you to cast the spell for less.

Price History
To study a single card is to glimpse the heart of a spell - a frozen moment of ambition, artistry, and arcane intent. Within each glyph lies a spark: a story untold, a duel turned, a destiny altered. Treat it not as mere parchment, dear seeker, but as a shard of the Multiverse itself.
